PREPARING TO DIVE THE
WEIGHT & TRIM SYSTEM
THE ADVANTAGES OF A DUI WEIGHT & TRIM
SYSTEM
There are many advantages to using a DUI Weight & Trim System:
Comfort: The DUI Weight & Trim harness distributes the load to the
shoulders. This alleviates most lower back discomfort commonly associated
with diving.
Slippage/Position: The DUI Weight & Trim System fits loosely around the
waist/hip area and the straps are under the BC. It will not slip or rotate during
the dive.
Weight Distribution: Although weight integrated BCs are popular today, many
do not allow you to wear all of the weight comfortably. You can use the DUI
Weight & Trim System to divide up your weight between your weight
integrated BC to make your equipment easier and more comfortable to
handle.
Trim: Proper weight distribution will allow you to achieve proper trim (body
placement) in the water. Proper trim will allow you to swim more easily thus
using your air more efficiently and controlling your buoyancy.
Achieving trim can take a few dives to find the proper weight placement for
you. Finding your trim is easier with the DUI Weight & Trim Systems because
they give you greater flexibility in where you wear your weights.
! CAUTION !
There are many subtle components and concepts in the
design of DUI Weight & Trim Systems. Do not attempt to
copy or modify any of their parts. Improper modification
or parts substitution may cause the systems to work
improperly and could result in the diver being unable to
release weights when needed.
